No offense, but when I kill your character first, it's most likely not permanent. It is not like I'll kill everyone, except my life dummy, in the same chapter.
Sorry.

The finger. It was the the difference between life or death.
Emily compared it to the killing curse from Harry Potter.
Hades became Voldemort.
Emily didn't know if it was the mist or her imagination, but he lost his nose.
When his nose came back, she knew she was daydreaming.
"You, my little child of beauty."
Emily stared at the finger pointing at Hunter. She couldn't do anything but look.
Anima, who was sitting next to her, had shadows coiling around her arms and legs. Emily's best guess was that Hades, but you never know with Anima.
And for once, Emily saw the bigger picture. They weren't just quest mates. No. They were friends. Think about it. Anima used to not say anything. Now she opened up and they have to bind and gag her to get her shut up.
And herself. At the beginning, she always had her nose in a book and her headphones in. Now look at her! Her hair was braided by Hunter. She really didn't mind. He also picked out her outfit, a one-shouldered, tight, hot pink dress that ends just above her knee. Then some strappy, black heels with diamantés. Her nails were painted glittery black. Her lipstick was the same shade of pink that made bubblegum cower in fear. (I don't even understand that joke...)
She wanted to scream. She couldn't.
Hunter just looked.
"Well, gods do lie."
He winked. Emily felt as if she was falling. All she saw was black.
:'( I cried when writing this. Don't stop reading Elmlea. I have saved a twist in a few chapters. But, that doesn't mean anyone else is safe either... And Emily gets special chapters via Elysium.
